Can you buy PageRank?
Published: May 1, 2005
This is just a very quick post about acquiring PageRank for your site by paying for it. You can buy links to your site by advertsing on popular websites and this will offer you rank but beware of the 301 redirect trick and getting listed on fake sites.
I received an email from a guy in China today who stated that people are paying for PageRank and that this very trick could possibly con thousands out of their hard earned cash.
He's totally correct, it could be abused. If you wish to get good results, treat PageRank with the pinch of salt it is. It's a guide, a vague one at that.
Content is king.
It's an old saying but nothing comes closer to the truth of it. Good content get's linked to which further lifts your results.
